Tony Pollard Week 11 Outlook - Vikings at Titans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 14th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Tennessee has been talking about lightening Pollard's workload, which we saw happen last week. Pollard played 53% of the snaps with 13 touches and 63 total yards. He split the red zone snaps 50/50 with Tyjae Spears. As long as Spears stays healthy, this could be the backfield split we see from now on, which would be a huge hit in Pollard's recent volume RB2 status (RB21 in fantasy points per game). Among 50 qualifying backs, Pollard ranks 18th in explosive run rate and fifth in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard could disappoint this week. Since Week 5, Minnesota has given up the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, and the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
